Earlier this week, milk tank drivers and thousands of dairy workers walked off the job across Victoria in what the United Workers Union called the “biggest dairy strike in living memory”.
ADPF president John Williams said Aussie processors were under pressure to keep costs down. Picture: Today “We have surging imports of cheaper products and this is putting real pressure on homegrown Aussie made products at the moment,” he said. “Negotiations have been drawn out and have gone stale, Saputo has elected not to stand by their own self-declared ethics and are now squeezing our hardworking drivers in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis,” TWU Branch Secretary Mike McNess said.
“From what we have seen from 1400 dairy workers walking off the job on this strike, they will not take it lying down if the bosses try to short-change them,” he said. Lactalis told NCA NewsWire that any purchase limits imposed by retail partners would be imposed, at their discretion, due to surges in demand rather than disruption to supply.
